This sweet summer romance about "the floaty happiness of first love" (BCCB) between a girl living in a beachside island town and a city boy is perfect for fans of Jenny Han and Morgan Matson.
Anna is dreading another tourist-filled summer on Dune Island that follows the same routine: beach, ice cream, friends, repeat. That is, until she locks eyes with Will, the gorgeous and sweet guy visiting from New York. Soon, her summer is filled with flirtatious fun as Anna falls head over heels in love.

But with every perfect afternoon, sweet kiss, and walk on the beach, Anna can't ignore that the days are quickly growing shorter, and Will has to leave at the end of August. Anna's never felt anything like this before, but when forever isn't even a possibility, one summer doesn't feel worth the promise of her heart breaking...

      Gr 7 Up-Anna thinks her upcoming summer is going to be just like her previous ones-surviving the heat of her Dune Island, GA, home by going to the beach; working in her family's ice-cream shop where she invents some popular flavors; and spending time planning her escape when she graduates. However, everything changes when she sees Will, a summer tourist (or "shoobee," as the locals call them), at the annual end-of-school bonfire. Anna and Will's relationship moves slowly, heating up with the temperature and hitting some rough patches as Anna tries to prevent herself from getting hurt at summer's end. Though equally smitten, Will is more philosophical-they should enjoy the time they have; maybe the relationship will survive beyond August and maybe it won't. Anna's first-person narration is appealingly genuine as she experiences the emotionally potent highs and lows of first love and reexamines her own self-image and life expectations with newfound perspective. The teen characters, and their interactions, are well drawn, as is the vividly described island setting. Pleasant and languid, and unfolding at the pace of an unhurried summer's day, this novel will appeal to girls who like their romances sweet and non-paranormal.-Suanne Roush, Osceola High School, Seminole, FL
